Constructing Physics Understanding (CPU)

The Constructing Physics Understanding in a Computer-Supported Learning Environment Project (or the CPU Project) is aimed at creating laboratory and computer-based materials that support a learning environment in which students take primary responsibility for developing a valid and robust knowledge about physics.

Project Development Goal: To develop a pedagogy, content units, and powerful computer software to support an environment where learners can construct knowledge in physics. Materials are appropriate for secondary classrooms, teacher workshops and some university courses.
